Here's a Thriller for You...

I know I have always been a bit strange, albeit eccentric, but this HAS got to take the biscuit…

 

I want to write a crime thriller.

 

Yes!!

 

Though quite why I want to write a crime thriller as opposed to any other thriller I haven’t yet got my head round.

 

All I know is that there are TWO things I want to do.

 

1. I want to publish excerpts of my diary/journal, which I have been writing since 1988. I have many volumes, and I think it’s time I got it out there for posterity, and run the risk of denying my progeny from having a first-hand look-into their Dad’s life…
2. I want to write a crime thriller. I wrote one for a creative writing class back in 2000 in university, which my lecturer called close to “Usual Suspects”--but not quite…L

 

Evidently, there’s some work to do, and if this blogging enterprise is anything to go by, writing isn’t a problem as much as the idea for something that sells.

 

Any ideas—Daniel, if you do read this, pls, man, some pointers!!!

 

O, and Portuguesa Nova, I could do with some ideas from you—given your writing style that is capable of spinning a good yarn the moment you start writing:-) Good to see you back—I was there Friday, but computer probs frustrated my attempt to commentL

 

Cheers!
